...I think Johnson has got the Tory’s in a great position now that he has agreed a deal with Europe. If the HoC decide they want time to analyse the deal, Johnson could pull it and force a GE.

I’m sure he would win with a majority with a message that he’d got a deal against the odds but Labour were blocking it. If this Momentum Labour Party can’t win an election at this time, it’s hard to see them ever doing so.
 
I’m pretty sure Bruce does not require your considered inputs.....
Sorry Pete, but you come across as very patronising sometimes; you are obviously an intelligent person, but you do yourself a disservice in your attitude. All I asked was how you think that a Labour govt would be bad for the economy....a reasonable question is it not?

Yeah, he'll probably prefer to have an excuse to pull. Johnson will run his election campaign around it and he could very well win a decent majority. He'll also pack his party full of right wingers who will be more than happy to leave without a deal in 14 months. It's all falling into place for them you feel.

Possible as regards to pulling the bill, but a GE will not only be about brexit. Johnson will have to try and defend the Tories record of austerity policies over the last 10 years which have caused misery for so many people.
 
Every organisation I have worked in root prunes -as for the forecast this has mainly been done as farage stated it's only Theresa's May deal with lipstick on!
Its the same deal with the backstop removed - also the next part of the deal which should have been before the divorce is the deal itself between us and the EU only then can you forecast a true economic costings of it plus will it take into account of any new trade deals we can then strive for .... so the chancellor says if the CBI & the IMF are happy with it .......
As for the bill being read most of it is very similar to what has been read in parliment before.....if the MPS dilly dally with this they are promoting NO DEAL......
C&P lol

True, but we all know he will promise everything to everyone and the general public will just lap it up. I'm genuinely fearful of a Johnson 5 year term.
 
Accurately no, because no one knows. However growth forecasts from the IMF et al, suggest that growth will continue and not retract. We will do OK....

I'm fairly sure most governments have a good stab at knowing what factors influence economic growth, so you'd think this one would be no different. I mean we're pursuing Brexit in the belief that it will help the country, so the government must believe their strategy is going to be beneficial, ie that it will allow things to change that will support higher growth, yet you can't say what those things are because you don't know why economies grow?

I mean I could show you this, but I'm sure you'd dismiss it - https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/...growth-lower-productivity-and-a-weaker-pound/

All I'm asking is for something to counter it with. It's hard to imagine in your billion dollar business dealings that you did things on the back of an envelope, yet that seems the approach you're happy with with Brexit.
